Forced normalization after turning off vagus nerve stimulation in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome
Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2019 Forced normalization is the development of psychiatric symptoms in a patient experiencing remission of seizures. We present a case of Lennox Gastaut syndrome in which forced normalization developed after vagus nerve stimulation was stopped.The patient ...

Vagus nerve stimulation paired with tactile training improved sensory function in a chronic stroke patient [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Recent studies indicate that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation can enhance neural plasticity in the primary sensory and motor cortices, improve forelimb function after stroke in animal models and improve motor function ...

Do the psychological effects of vagus nerve stimulation partially mediate vagal pain modulation?
Neurobiology of Pain, 2017 There is preclinical and clinical evidence that vagus nerve stimulation modulates both pain and mood state. Mechanistic studies show brainstem circuitry involved in pain modulation by vagus nerve stimulation, but little is known about possible indirect ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation as a Potential Therapy in Early Alzheimer’s Disease: A Review
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 Cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is caused by disturbances in neuronal circuits of the brain underpinned by synapse loss, neuronal dysfunction and neuronal death.

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation [PDF]
European Neurological Review, 2011 Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an approved treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy. Besides its recognised clinical efficacy, there are major drawbacks, such as invasiveness and a great many side effects. Therefore there is a medical demand for transcutaneous VNS (t-VNS®), which combines selective, non-invasive access to vagus nerve afferents ...
